River Poker Solitaire

Sink or swim, all on where you place the river

Flip over each card in turn, and deal them onto the board, but remember this twofold twist: every row and column is a poker hand. With only five minutes on the clock, you’ll need to use every cell on the board – and every trick in the book – to move on to the next table.

So why’s the river so important? Once you place that fifth card in a line, the hand is counted, so plan wisely!

Your current card is visible in the lower left. Click any cell on the grid to place that card in the cell. Place more cards in turn to build the best possible horizontal or vertical poker hand.

Once you have placed a full column or row of five cards, it will be scored and cleared. Careful, though, submitting a zero-point row or column will lock it until the next round!

If the entire 52-card deck is dealt before you reach the target score, you may freely move any cards that remain on the board to better positions before submitting them.
